'You know a lot about the Imperial City Archives.'

'My father had me intern with them before I joined the Battlespire; said it would build character. The archivist I was assigned to had me assist in looking after both civil and military records during my time here. I realised soon after that my father placed me here to look up the military reports for both of our houses.'

'Oh? What for?'

'Didn't you know? House Tharn both admires and envies the military traditions of House Avexus.'

-- Lysander Avexus and Oberyn Tharn, as they're perusing the Imperial City Archives.

'The Imperial City Archives are the Empire's central repository of administrative documents. Important files such as deeds, titles, genealogies. If it's not in the archives, it isn't worth keeping.'

-- Oberyn Tharn, explaining the Imperial City Archives
